This post is post number one of a series of seven posts that I have created to provide you with the knowledge and tools for you to begin growing yourself as well as your wealth. I will be going through seven stages of how to start re-working yourself to be focused on becoming wealthy.

I want to teach you to look at a business model, and work out how to add more income streams, either as an individual or in your company.

So, I want to you start by asking yourself a question. How do some people make a huge success of themselves, while other just don’t?

There are some people who make a massive impact in the world and add value to society and accumulate success and wealth. And there are other people who don’t. You may say that some people were just born into wealth, which is absolutely correct. But if you look at some of the wealthiest and most powerful people, many of them started from absolutely nothing. In fact, I would say that 97% of them came from nothing.

It is key to remember that we were all born with nothing, in very different circumstance, but nothing nonetheless, and we can choose to make it in the world. Here are my top tips on conditioning yourself to be a success. These are my guidelines of making the difference.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD

  • Take Responsibility

Take responsibility for your life. You have to keep in mind that you are the CEO of your own corporation. Even if you work for a company, you work for yourself and for your life. You need to therefore take responsibility for your own life and how your actions reflect what happens.

  • Choose Your Value

Choose the value that you are going to add to the world. What is it that you do that is going to make a difference. If you are the CEO, and your company is your life; what value does your “company” provide? What do you get paid for on a day to day basis and what value should you be paid for. This is where you need to choose what you want to be doing and what value you are adding and start working on it. Choose one thing that you can start perfecting so that you can create a tangible difference to the world through this.

  • Research Peers

The next thing that you need to do is start perfecting it. So, you need to research ten of the most successful people in the field that you are choosing and start studying them.

You need to pick people who are the best at doing it and see how they are doing it. Whether it be sport, businessmen, entrepreneurship, there is always someone to learn from. Choose five in your local market so that you can identify and relate to them and the other five from international backgrounds. You can learn anything that you put your mind to, and that is why it makes it easier learning from other people. The key is to make sure you enjoy what it is that you have chosen. The trick is to read and watch everything you can about those people.

Don’t just read their autobiography, study all articles and watch all videos that they have written, or made, or thats been written or made about them. This will teach you the lesson of how much hard work goes into becoming what you want to do.

  • Feed Your Mind

Feed your mind with the information. Look at the books you read, videos, audiobooks, seminars and the people you spend time with. You mind is a powerful tool that you need to keep feeding information to. Connect with people who are doing the same as you to surround yourself with knowledge, but make sure that you surround yourself with people who are better than you so that you can keep learning.

If you are the best, you won’t develop and learn. Watch or listen or read something for an hour a day to be the best in that field. Tryand listen to an audiobook in the car, or read a book before bed, but spend time feeding your mind.

  • Feed Your Body

The body supports the mind and because the mind is so powerful, it needs a lot of energy to keep it going. Nutrition provides this energy so that your mind can keep working for you to be the best at what you have chosen. You will be constantly tested, so you need to make sure that you are adding something in your body that will add value. Research about what is good for you and for your body but remember, you know your body better than anyone else so it’s you to decide what works for your body and what doesn’t.

Not everyone is the same, so you need to ask yourself whether what you are feeding yourself will give you the energy, giving you long life and giving you what you need to enjoy what you are creating. Exercise is also key, you have to keep moving to keep yourself active and keep your mind sharp. 30 minutes of exercise a day will make the biggest difference to your body and mind. The healthier you feel, the better you feel and the wealthier you feel.

  • Represent Yourself

If you want people to perceive you for who you are, you need to represent this through how you physically come across to them. You have to dress and behave how you want to be perceived by the person standing in front of you. People do judge you, it is a fact of life.

So, if you want to be seen as a success, you have to play the part of success. Communication is also a key part of this. To be successful, and be seen as being successful, you have to act like this person from day one in order to be able to sell yourself every day. How you communicate speaks volumes.

From the way you talk to the use of your language. It will make a huge difference in the way you are viewed by people. The last point is being represented by the people that you spend time with. Not only do they impact the way you see the world, and the amount of knowledge you can gain, but they are representative of you. You can’t make a success of your life if you keep doing the same thing over and over again.
